The Panasonic Lumix FZ80 is a decent choice for casual nature photography. If you want to stick with what you know, a Panasonic Lumix G95/G97 or G100 would be the next step. Pair it with a Lumix 100-300 mm or 100-400 mm zoom. Personally, I have a G95. It's a little larger for handling the bigger zoo

I was literally in this same boat about a month ago but with the Panasonic G97 and GH7. In the end I went with the G97 and bought a 20mm anamorphic AF 20mm lens, got a 85mm 2.1 lens and last week got a 50mm 1.05. Save money and buy more lenses now and maybe a few years from now, you can revisit anot

I just answered another post so I’ll give you the same recommendation. The Panasonic g97 is running about 600 usd on B&H with the 12-60 kit lens. Both the camera body and lens are weather sealed. The lens is generally well regarded. At 24-120mm ff equivalent it runs from a wide angle to a short tele

I have several friends who are wildlife photographers. TBH, getting really good wildlife photos typically requires high quality long lenses ($$$ + weight) and a good camera body ($$$ + weight). This isn't what you want so I would recommend getting a reasonably priced micro four thirds camera body an

Panasonic Lumix g90 / 91 / 95 the latest is G97 , some extra features added . A very capable body , tested the battery and it has sufficient power for photography ( not video ) , lightweight enough , not on the bulky side , nothing missing from the bells and whistles story , you can't go wrong with

In that price range, use your phone. You can get some obsolete bodies online in that price range that might still produce good images but they might not have much lifespan left. And you would will still need to buy some lenses for it. Save up for something that’ll be better. At 600 usd you can get t

I don't recommend point and shoot cameras. Zoom lenses provide versatility at the expense of image quality. They're typically best at the center of the zoom range and image quality drops off towards each end. Very few of these lenses stay sharp across the entire focal range, and the few that have th

Point and shoot cameras are terrible value for money. You can get the Panasonic G100dD with the 12-60 kit lens or G97 with 12-30 kit lens at around 600 each. If you need a faster aperture you could get a decent used prime lens for the MFT mount and still be under your budget. They’re both relatively

There's a lot of variables at play here. Are you looking to buy into a brand/lens ecosystem? Are you looking for more of a point and shoot? Are you good buying second hand or would you rather buy new? etc... Anecdotally I bought into the Lumix (Panasonic) MFT ecosystem with the G7 back in like 2018

The V1 is a camera designed for v logging, not very intuitive for stills photography. The z50 ii is a good body but Nikon is still very sorely lacking when it comes to lenses for apsc Z mount. The G97 would be a much more suitable hybrid body for beginner. It's a very well built body, beginner frien
